NO no - if anything I did (based on my addendum) - I get that he was totally into it and his audience including you 'got' that. Where would we be without a "bass face"? (not quite a smile... but delivers the appropriate emotion!) I was just making the point of the contrary.

great pic.

Sort of an old pic by todays standards.
My brother caught me Chuck.

Went right home to be with him and my mom.

'97.

Wondering how you find VBT vs VVT (or just VT) ? I’ve never used a blend control, just the 2 volumes.

I prefer VBT on my Jbass. Might try it on my Discobass.

 

[Gaolee]

Well the first part I can do. Not ready to totally change my wardrobe.

It is hard to compete with those legs anyway.

...or at least might be mis-interpreted... but.., anyone into listening to someone who is into playing/performing should "get it". Miles hated that Louise Armstrong pandered to a white audience by smiling too freely. That is a totally understandable reaction given the history of black performers in America up to that point. A sophisticated audience is on the same page as the artist on stage.

At the same time, Louis came in 15 years earlier than Miles (I assume you mean Davis). The reality he grew up and started performing in was different than the one Miles grew up and started performing in - and part of that was due to people like Louis helping disarm those whose racism was merely inherited vs invested in.

I finally got around to looking further into the issues my Acoustic 150b is having, and i think I may have found the possible culprit(s):

..... even with the goop allegedly holding them, both were broken loose from the pcb



This looks to be in poor shape too?

Second one may be OK. That first one's gonna need more than duct tape and bailing wire.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

To clarify-some: both pups are at the same level wherever I set the volume knob. The blend gives me the percentage of each pup w/o having to change level(s). Example: I had a solo last night and for s&g I turned the blend past the detent(50/50?)toward more bridge pup. Interesting effect. Fun to experiment with.

If all my basses were VBT rather than VVT, I probably wouldn't have bought the volume pedal. I'm kinda glad, though, because I always wanted an excuse and funds (at the same time) to buy a Morley pedal.

feeling picked a little…..
Non Reverse T.-Bird BacH Music

Yeah, it wants you.

 

[Gaolee]

I love that joke, just can’t remember where I saw it first. Truth

My daughters didn’t laugh.

I am pretty sure that when we have a grandkid, my wife will disappear. Our son and daughter-in-law will have a perpetual babysitter, so there is that. I will be lucky to get my wife back during grandkid nap time.

 

[Gaolee]

I messed up as usual Geo.

He was totally into it.
I was there.

Frank is one of the reasons I finally got an SG. Not that I can play it.

I thought you were a real electronics engineer.

That's how I know!

She's awesome!
Yeah, I use that word now.

Paz?

Esther Haim. She's very good, plays it straight with a nice delivery. Known for her rad and all-out bass face. She's also very pretty.

My introduction to them was a live version of "Oh, Well". Fun group.

Wow, Jeff. You actually gave her some cred here they are desperately craving. This is probably about as close as they'll ever come.
